Maker’s Mark Glazed Nantes Carrots with Mint

Nantes carrots are one of my favorite vegetables to hit the table. They are sweet, earthy and less fibrous than what we normally see representing carrots. (Like the monster-sized ones that are only good for feeding horses). You could add a little fresh ginger to this if you want to spice it up a bit, as you can never go wrong with bourbon and ginger. Hint: Generic carrots are fine if you cannot source Nantes carrots.
